Mr. and Mrs. A. Smith W. I. ANNUAL MEETING
•
Honored At Walton ON TUESDAY
Address and Presentation Fri-
day Evening For McKillop
Newlyweds The following is the address to Mr.
and Mrs. Archie Smith on the oc-
casion of their wedding reception at
Walton hall on Friday evening:
Dear Violet and Archie. Oh! The
cold cruel winter, with its tempest
and its snow, With its short days and
its long nights, we were glad to see it
go. With the nice, bright weather
that March is sure to bring, we all
get busy preparing for spring. But on
March 16th. Oh! what a surprise: it
was raining and a -freezing and oh!
how dull the skies. But Archie had
made a promise. What about the
day; he had lots of willing neighbors
who were on the watch that day.
They saw him safe in Brussels, over
very icy roads. They knew that Violet
was waiting, dressed in her wedding
robes, Rev. H. Wilson spoke the
words that made them man and wife,
and Laura Ellacott and Charlie Fisher
witnessed their vows that they were
tarsen right. Now their honeymoon
trip is over and knowing they were
home, we planned to meet for one
more night, before they ceased to
roam. We all extend to Violet a
hearty welcome to Archie's old home
on the bill. Your nearest neighbor is
the preacher: he will visit you if you
are 111. The church and the new
school aro just one mile away. Each
year there are always newcomers:
it always is that way. How we all can
remember the days when Archie
went to that school, up early and
away every morning to learn the
golden rule. Some days the teacher
might have thought he was the best
boy at that school. Now just for Auld
Lang Syne, tonight, brings old com-
panions here,' old friends, old faces
are the best, to wish you lots of bap-
piness and cheer. Your friends and
neighbors have planned a surprise to
give you some useful gift, which they
thought that you might prize, and
with this purse of money they all
give their best wishes and hope that
both of you will find married life
much better than paddling your own
canoe. With best wishes from Friends
and Neighbors.

THE EASTER HOPE
W. T. Stead, a British journalist, after
attending the Passion Play at Oberammer-
gau, came out saying to himself, "This is
the story which has transformed the world."
A transforming work was begun in the dy-
ing of the Lord Jesus Christ but shall be
incomplete in its scope until the multitudes
of human beings are prepared to look to the
cross and seek to live inthis world in the
fellowship of his sufferings and as those who.
believe'. that Christ's dying' WAS an - annihila-
tion of death.
It is this faith that gives us joy at Master.
The Christian heart thrillsat the words,
'But :now is Christ risen .from the dead.'
Tho Easter worship is joyous to believers for
their Saviour hath abolished death and hall
brought life and immortality to light
through the gospel. People who enter the
churches on the coming Sabbath with a
.spontaneous gladnessof heart to sing
praises to the Lord, can he witnesses to the
Resurrection. From thefaith that prompts
the Christian to Worship, there comes a
further practical witnessing to Christ in the
common way, There, too, the heart glows
because of the reality of fellowship with a
living Jesus..
In the darkness ofourworld, we need the
Christian hope, What can we see in the hor-
izon without Christ—
O'er' these gloomy hills of darkness,
Look my soul; be still ,and gaze,
Ali the promises do travail
With a glorious day of grace
Blessed 1uhtleel
Let Thy glorious morning dawn."
